Perhaps to people who are used to watching ad infested cable and don’t pay for ad-free streaming. So it’s not that ads aren’t detracting from the experience but that some folks are used to it. Getting those folks is growth. Number go up.

It isn’t? You might be looking at a different market.

If you were actually able to set it up via ssh,

I never said that.

I’m on Ubiquity’s payroll, definitely. I’m expecting a check in the mail any day now.

Oh for sure. I ran them without a controller for years. I only set it up to do a wireless bridge.

Perfect. This is consistent with what I was thinking and that Cloudflare’s changes won’t fix any recent bundles that might include malicious code.

For home, second hand Ubiquity might be. You can get flying saucers taken off from corpo upgrades for dirt cheap.

I was able to SSH into mine and I’m running their Docker container with a Unifi Controller instead of a cloud key.

I read the story and specifically the bit about the Github account. Isn’t this the Polyfill lib’s Github account? Because if that’s the case, how would a bundler solve the issue? The new owners could modify the original source, then the CICD jobs would happily publish that to registries and from there down into the bundles. Is it a different Github account they’re talking about?

Nice. Unfortunately this won’t tackle the mountains of sites that use bundlers.

Crashes aren’t normal even in Windows. Rare crashes mean a hardware problem 99.7% of the time. Typically RAM as others have pointed out. The only way to figure that out is 4 passes of Memtest86+ without red. Yes 4 because the the first pass is a short one made to spot obviously bad RAM quickly. Less bad RAM might need more. I’ve had a case of 4 sticks that each pass on its own. Every two passed on their own. All 4 failed on the third or fourth pass. And if you think I tested for shits and giggles, I did not. I was see checksum errors on my ZFS pool every other day. No crashes. Nevertheless, if it wasn’t for ZFS I’d have corrupted files all over my archive.

The problem with smart light switches is that they sit on the AC path. This means they’re capable of starting fires. As a result you might want units that don’t have questionable designs or the cheapest relays inside. A proxy for that is being certified by a western certification organization. Something like UL, CSA, ETL, MET, TUF, etc. Both the certification and the grade of components used increase the price of such units. There are some cheaper certified switches too, but personally I wouldn’t install something that doesn’t carry the name of a North American (I’m in Canada) manufacturer on it. Leviton, Eaton, etc. And those are $50+. 😔

Just signed up after they announced the non-profit and migrated all my mail. So far so good.

I wouldn’t go from Google to another for-profit though. I know how it ends.

Because Ubuntu LTS works very reliably and because there’s a huge body of information and large swathes of people who can help on the Internet, and because every project and vendor tests and releases their stuff for Ubuntu/Debian and has documentation for it.

Despite the hate you see around these shores, Ubuntu LTS is among the best if not the best beginner distro. Importantly it scales to any other proficiency level. The skill and knowledge acquired while learning Ubuntu transfers to Debian as well as working professionally with either of them.

Also, with the fuckery RedHat pulls lately, it’s a disservice to new users to get them to learn the RedHat ecosystem, unless they plan or need to use it professionally. If I had to bet, I’d bet that the RH ecosystem would be all but deserted by volunteers in the years to come. I bet that as we speak a whole lotta folks donating their time are coming to the conclusion that Debian was right and are abandoning ship.

Yeah, as someone who’s fought against the RIAA/MPAA copyright lobbying in my country, I think I’m on their side on this one.

Well this is nice. One downside is that folks who play games without VSync can’t turn it off in Wayland as far as I’m aware.

I think you mean Xorg instead of X11.

Thanks for the recap. Yeah I think I was more or less aware of most of those bits. I guess I didn’t get to the conclusion. 😅 Also I think they handled Justin Roiland’s issues fairly unambiguously. Assuming he was a bastard, I didn’t skip a beat watching the Justin-free season.

I know it’s officially not cool to like Rick and Morty anymore

I’m sorry what?

Print and TV can’t possibly compete with the amount of rage generated by the hyper personalized targeting machine that Facebook is. Add to that the fact that anyone can push their flavor of rage for a modest price. I don’t know if you’ve used Facebook over the last few years but if you haven’t, you should give it a spin. It’s incredible.

Still the label applies well to all corporate media.

They can certainly slow down the proliferation this way, a lot. They can’t gatekeep it forever from a determined third party though.
